Tea For Two: Recent Episodes
Kay & Ri
Anything but average - 10/10 wouldn't recommend listening if you're totally fine living the same day on repeat for the rest of your life, never seeing Jamaica, or cool with the fact that you have no real money or time of your own. Some of our followers turned friends have been known to quit their day jobs, build fabulous and lucrative businesses, vacation often, retire their mans, and smile wildly more than normal. LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT TO NOT LOVE THE ONE YOUR LIVIN! We’re Kay&Ri #AndThatsTheTea
The one we alll want to master..
While this episode is FULL of tips & to -do's, the main take away is this.. and yes, we're giving it to you in the description.
Maintaining your rank is an ALL MONTH THING, not an END OF MONTH THING.
Now, what should you be doing all month to make sure you're not frantic when the last 7 days of the month come around? Trust me - we have PLENTYYY of ideas.

This episode might change your entire outlook on your day to day and that's the goal.
Were talkin': Romanticizing your life
It’s all about changing your perspective and the way you look at things. Anyone could look at something pessimistically or optimistically..
If you're romanticizing your life, you're choosing to be full of gratitude. To be willing to slowwww down and enjoy and NOTICE the little moments in your day that make life such a beautiful experience.
It’s about choosing to LOVE your life and the season you’re in instead of going through life on auto pilot.
And ofc, we give examples ;)

You want the tea, we're spilling it & I bet these aren't what you would assume. Like with any job there are ups and downs. Instead of having your request time off, be tied to a schedule and an hourly wage.. we have other issues to deal with lol they don’t usually come til later though so that’s good news 😂 but brace yourself because you're gonna face the hard stuff
On todays episode, the fourth of the "Easy" series, we cover Easy Profile Must Haves. A quicker episode, shockingly.. Kay & I love to over explain, haha, but a good one that covers FOUR super important things that every social seller should have on their profile.
The profile is the pre-dm. It's where people snoop and want to find out as much as they can without having to message you. On this ep, we talk ways to create a profile that WORKS FOR YOU.. a profile that has systems.

“You just have to stay constant and steadfast in your why because it can come true”
truth be told, your biz is built on the days you "dont feel like it". If we're being even more honestly maybe 20% the time youll feel like it
Then we find ourselves showing up only 2/10 days - your not creating enough consistency in your biz
BUT BABE, consistency often trumps quality and consistency is absolutely VITAL. Consistency without a doubt is the reason people dont see results in their biz
lets talk about how to break up all of that, and get consistent with the right things instead of with our excuses and lack of action cause that is all it takes. truly.
On tonights episode we share TONS of ways to make stories on Facebook & Instagram FUN. The magic is in uncomplicating them and using them as a place to share the behind the scenes stuff, your personality and sense of humor.
Kaleigh and Rianne give tons of tangible ideas of things to talk about/ post about in stories. Bring your notes, you'll want them!
** Two more episodes left in our "EASY" series

We help you decide if you should be working "work hours" or more from a daily task list, all dependent on your lifestyle. This is a good one. Grab a notebook. <3

Easy ways to share the products

Easy ways to share the biz
- why did you start?? (Money, friends, trip, car, products)
- Share a day in the life and how you work this no matter how busy you are
- Speak into hesitations and answer unasked questions (I was talking to someone yesterday, question boxes, a lot of people are scared of ______)
You need skills and belief to be successful in this business - but what comes first? What is most important?
SKILLS! Sales skills!
Enjoy this bonus episode to celebrate our 100th ep and to kick off our start of our 5 week NEW SERIES all about How to work your business EASILY
Inspo for this ep came from: School of Sales / Guide Culture podcast

There should be a disclosure that comes with this job when you sign on explaining things you WILL run into inevitably.. because the problem is, when people DO run into these things, a lot of times they think of them as reasons to quit.. reasons why this isn't for them.. reasons why they've obviously done something wrong and are no good at this. NONE of which are true!
Here are some NORMAL things we talk about this ep that you will run into in this industry.
People switching companies
People saying the products don’t work
Some checks being much better than others
Having days where you don’t wanna work but do it anyways
Feeling like you wanna quit once a month
Not everyone sticks around forever and not as long as you
You’ll learn a lot of lessons the hard way
You’ll cringe at your preset/ branding in the future looking back
You’ll cringe at your lesdership style as well
Views will eb and flow
Numbers will never be the same
Autoship is important
Working your business takes a solid 3-4 hours a day.. not 8
Everyone’s first live sucks
Everyone’s first reel sucks
Trends will change
Your story and why will evolve
Enjoy
xx Kay & Ri!

Tips on balancing work, creating structure to our days, free time and family.
If we could go back to our 24 year old self- what advice would you give yourself?
What do you do when you have low enrollment months to keep you in the mindset to keep going?
lets talk about it all! Thanks for being here with us

The question of the night; How real is this to you?
Real enough to let stuff be permanent?
The reason people don’t scale their businesses is because they never take it out of here - the phone
It never enters the home - desk, husband, supplement station.
It never enters the habits: drinking, safeway/Walmart, reading/ podcasts, keeping
If never affects the appearance: you don’t go on the walk, do the workout, put on eyebrows, paint your nails. take time to get read
It never affects friendships: hang w people that would never do thrive, you don’t talk about it/ act like it’s nbd
Where people go wrong is they leave this lifestyle in their phone where it is not a true lifestyle at all - it’s not real, unless you make it real :)
raw and honest review of last month, how we showed up, the goals we set at the beginning of the month, what was hard, what we did well, what we spoke life into thru our content and how it actually converted for us. talk about EYE OPENING - but how else are you supposed to know what works and what doesn't? lets assess so we can progress.
stop stopping babe, you can't have a minimum wage work ethic behind a million dollar dream.
we're talking the about he mindset that needs to back the work you put into those big goals, don't let these bonuses slip thru your fingertips.
GO LITTLE ROCKSTARS
xoxo,
Kay & Ri
there is a reason we had Shelby on tonight and you're about to find out why. THIS GIRL can truly stand to speak on perseverance and how to mentally come up against hard, obsessed with this conversation. & if you haven't read The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson, order that today!!!
tonight we talk about how "doing it when you don't want to" IS WHAT WILL CATAPULT YOU FORWARD and set you apart from those who stay stuck and only put action into their goals and dreams when they feel like it.
Tonight we’re getting down to the bottom of this from two different perspectives and it’s a good conversation friends!
We’re talking how YOU HAVE TO BE PLUGGED IN AND CONSTANTLY ON THE MEETINGS and 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐭 and how isolation in entrepreneurship is fatal.
We’re also talking to the ladies who ARE DOING ALL THE THINGS and how to make sure their new girls get plugged in RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE @kaycroley & @riannevangorden
ooooof we will both admit, this is hands down top 5 when it comes to favorite episodes. this is one to drop in your team chat and get everyone to stop giving minimum effort to full sized dreams.
tell us if you loved this one!

is it even possible to show up 100% every single day? is it possible to do our best and not feel like it wasn't good enough at the end of the day? what does it even mean to "show up" these days anyways? we hear about the importance of consistency but that doesn't always mean perfect and high energy - all or nothing. what causes us to go fast then slow down then show up and then not be able to find the words to say the rest of the week is us feeling like we need to show up in a certain light- that’s not it, those are made up rules & we're speaking life into it all tonight.
INTENTIONAL is the word of 2022 baby. Cause why would it be anything else.
"intentional days create life on purpose", I mean daymmmmmn, that hits hard. Showing up with intention action is the only way to make it happen. Lets talk about the 4 areas to get extra intentional with right now.
Content-the way you show up online is your business. It has to be good, consistent, let people get to know you. Figure out how to make your content good. Post consistently & posting every single day. Share in a way that’s fun and converting conversations. It doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to get done. Use your pain points for your content.
Time-how are you spending your time? Are you consuming, Creating, building relationships? What are you doing with your time. Be intentional with the time that you have. Social media is meant to distract you. Set a timer while you’re scrolling. Use your time efficiently & be organized with a list.
Health-how are you being intentional with your health? We sell health and wellness products. You have to have a layer of intention when it comes to taking care of yourself. The proof is in you and sometimes we don’t realize what we can do for someone else until we do it for ourselves. Look at it like “how can I help someone”. Do you know what our products actually do? Share your healthy meals, share your body movements. Share your excitement. Provide free value.
Growth-growth is everything. Everyone is different but focus on what you personally need/want to grow in. Make it a non negotiable for yourself. Your actions have to align with your intentions. Take intentional steps.
Wrapping up - The Wave series and tonight we cover customer appreciation/ retention + follow ups. WHICH ARE ALL GAME CHANGERS lets just say that.
You’re gonna want to write some of these down because whether you are in our industry specifically you will have so many take aways that you can truly apply to any business or product line you have your hands on with some creativity. Rianne sends you away with 7 ideas to start using on your customers tomorrow!
Remember YOU are your brand.
This is YOUR business.
YOUR customer service is a super important detail that can make or break you!
YOU get to customize this experience for the people that choose you.
Make it worth it.
Make it different that they are buying thru self checkout at target.
@kaycroley @riannevangorden
you're going to want to save this one, send it to your teams because if we were to peak into your behind the scenes of working your business.... are you engaging everyday intentionally to build your business. are you out there everyday in convo trying diligently to find your people.
we're talking all things about relationships, how to build them, how to find your people and why this is just something you can't skip. matter of the fact - this is what your business is made of, it's time to get good at it and make it meaningful.
lets make sure we are connected & just know, your rates and reviews make our day. if you would take the 5 seconds to love on our podcast! love hearing from all of you! till next tuesday friends!
@kaycroley @riannevangorden
yeah, we said it. stop stressing over how becky isn't posting, and Jessica went camping all weekend and how could she dare not have service, and Melissa is in a "funk", Aly says she wants this but she just isn't taking action after our calls. we see one of two things happen when it comes to this biz and you're definitely going to relate to one if not both. THIS IS NOT AN EP YOU CAN AFFORD TO PUT OFF.
hahaha being a leader - hard. a beautiful beautiful role but its hard to not stress about everyone else businesses and remember you need to be working your own and building bigger yourself. today we ease your mind, you're not going crazy but we gotta FOCUS. The best thing you can do is work your own business and lead by example and learn how to match peoples energies and effort.
#andthatsthetea
Call to actions babyyyyyy - another one of those "words" that we all hear but we dont really get it. Think about call to actions as you inviting people to chat with you on whatever your sharing about. You're actually asking them to respond! You wanna hear from them - we want people to engage!
We're doing a little self assessment today on your own page and leaving you with very simple things to take action on that will get your people chatting with you vs. just watching in secret.
If you are in social selling this episode is a MUST listen because.... well duh - content is the job right? We create the content in hope it will connect us to like minded woman who we can impact with our story and products & in the process lives change for the better simultaneously. Wishing it was that simple - but when you finally feel like you understand the point behind the content and what you really need to be sharing. The game changes for you.
This episode will help you understand what in the heck we mean when we say we share pain points nearly every single day & how you can start creating compelling content that start conversations and connects with your following - which is absolutely the GOAL.
Be sure to rate, review & subscribe - it makes our day hearing from you all! See you next Tuesday friends!
@riannevangorden @kaycroley - we need to be friends on insta
The month of May is going to be a little extra epic for those of you in the social selling industry because we are taking a deep diving on what we are going to call "the wave". The ebbs and flows in this business, sales, having a plan, a strategy that finally make sense to a beginner, pain points, creating content that matters to your following, call to actions done right, how to get people reaching out to you, conversations, engagement, and so much more.
You know, all the make or break it stuff. :) We got you covered and I promise its not nearly as hard as we make it out to be. THESE EPISODES ARE GOING TO BE PACKED FULL OF TAKE AWAYS AND AHHA MOMENTS.
Mark your calendars every Tuesday evening @5:30pm pst/ 7:30pm cst/ 8:30pm est - we're about to change your business babes - in the best ways possible.
@kaycroley @riannevangorden - if you don't follow us already, lets be frannnnns & if you haven't taken 5 second to drop us your thoughts and love, please leave a review. we love hearing from youuuuuu all
they are out there babe, we promise and you WILL find them by being extra intentional in the way you find them and what happens right on the other side of yes! share this one with your teams.
First of all this is GOLD. This is one you're going to want to save as a pep talk, one to send your teams as you make it thru the waves that come in this business because we are normalizing ALOT of not so glamorous things that aren't spoken on enough, especially in this industry. We're normalizing something wanting to quit, at the beginning, in the middle and even at the top. Normalizing that this is hard and being an enterprenuer sucks sometimes because you don't get to clock off and you are CONSTANTLY thinking, "how can I do better?", "how can I show up more?", "where can I grow as a leader?", "what does my team need from me?", "where can I be more consistent?" ect... it can be all consuming.
ButI have goals that are venerated on what I want and the woman I want to become and I cant quit on her
IT WILL ALWAYS BE EASIER TO QUIT IN THE MOMENT, but the person you'd be quitting on is YOU and the amazing woman you are becoming because of the constant growth. I don't know about you but we've quit on ourselves all our lives BUT NOT THIS TIME.
WE'D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS AND WHAT YOU ARE LOVING - RATE & REVIEW FOR US PLEASE
@riannevangorden @kaycroley
This is one tough love conversation that some leaders aren't willing to have yet we so desperately need in this industry time and time again. Real conversations that are solution focused and get your to see that those pretty little excuses are stealing your potential. The truth is, this industry is hard and more than compelling captions, pictures with the perfect preset and just hoping for a "runner".
Some things we speak into: The background work that no one sees is the stuff that matters the most. You have to learn to say no and set boundaries to get things done & put your head down and work hard. There are zero short cuts in this business - NONE. Numbers do not lie, pay attention to them and track your growth or lack there of and trouble shoot what's working and what's not. This is a real life business, do you truly realize that? If you don't have a plan, you are chasing your goals in the dark. YOU ARE YOUR BRAND, you have to be able to help yourself before you can truly offer help to anyone else confidently. There is no such thing as work/life balance in something that is ever changing. Learn from those that are where you want to be and take the initiative to learn the things that you don't know.
Know that we see all the rates, reviews and all of you sharing TFT to your stories and we LOVE hearing from you!
If you haven't yet, leave us love, let us know how this is helping you and your business grow.
@riannevangorden @kaycroley
Is anyone really "good at sales" haha and I promise you, you just need to have confidence in what you have your hands on. Cause ITS A BIG DEAL. It must be if your standing behind it and you wouldn't want to live without it so don't downplay it. Leaving you with all the tips for sales and how to sell like a queen. And chances are enrolling "is your business" its the money maker, so you're gonna wanna take notes.
we're no stranger to months that feel "slow", months where the "motivation is lacking" but you know what. There is one thing so powerful that can change that for their entire team. YOU.
it's your job as a leader, as the one who wants this and chose to be brave and go first. babe it's up to you to change that - and its easier to do than you would think. tonight we're talking about how and the secret to re energizing your team.
@kaycroley @riannevangorden
Real talk babe, YOU HAVE GOT TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
read that again. now read that again.
Your beliefs will ultimately determine where you end up in your life. We all have limiting beliefs and we spend so much time focusing on action and what we need to do, what we could do more of, what we need to start doing.
& friend, it doesn't matter what you do as much as it matters what you believe.
share with your teams, with the woman you believe to have so much potential, leave us your feed back
we'd love to know what you want to hear more of, what's helped you and what has changed your business the most.
Love to all - @kaycroley @riannevangorden
A very needed raw and real episode today. We're talking lessons learned and mistakes made and not sugar coating a thing.

THIS IS ONE YOU WANT TO CLICK ON BABES!

This episode we bring on an incredible leader Stacee to chat about leadership, supporting your team in the right ways as it grows because although some people beat the odds and do this without an upline - many out there say their upline MADE the biggest difference. & that is where you want to be, you want to be the upline that made such a huge difference you create a team full of amazing leaders who set the standard for anyone who walks in, lets chat what that looks like.
We see those shares, love and reviews - keep em coming. You have no idea how much it means to hear from you all.
@kaycroley @riannevangorden
This is the podcast to kick off a brand new month babyyyyyyy - click it. We're talking all about momentum & how to create and ride it out.
If you haven't mastered personal production you can't teach it to your team.
They wanna SEE IT! They need to be SHOW HOW ITS DONE.
Time to turn up the momentum yourself and set a pace worth keeping up with.
@kaycroley & @riannevangorden
Excuses will always be something we are up against not matter how strong your determination is. Tonight were talking how to beat your excuses every time and truly I tell you, most of the "things" we avoid are just as easy to get done than they are not to due - que where the excuses come in. Chances are, you're holding yourself back, lets chat how to get out of your own way sister.
Leave us some love, share your fave episodes to your stories and please take 20 seconds to go rate and review!
You winning makes this all worth it!!!
@kaycroley & @riannevangorden
Im just really not sure you KNOW what you have your hands on. & whether this is your very first taste of NWM consider yourself blessed to have landed in the best of the best. If this is your second taste, I'm sure the difference is more than obvious! You don't want to miss this one.
Make sure we're following eachother over on Insta @kaycroley and @riannevangorden
So excited to drop this episode, ITS FIRE YALL.
Execution is what matters cause talk is cheapppp & NOTHING BEATS HARD WORK AND HUSTLE, its you babe, its up to you.
ANYONE can "say" they want this but you can't ignore the ones that truly do.
If you really want it, freaking go for it!!
be sure you're following us both on instagram @kaycroley & @riannevangorden
DO IT EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO - sounds easy right? it's not.
self discipline is probably one of the major things we all struggle with and that's why in the game of business self development is SOOOO critical. you learn how to make yourself do the things.
If you can’t show up for yourself, how are you supposed to show up for anyone else?Its about accountability
& the good news, the secret sauce is doing it even when you don’t want to.
CLICK THIS - You're not gonna wanna miss this one. Starting small is one of the biggest threats to your success. By starting small, you stay small, because by not throwing yourself 100% into your project you won’t see 100% of the results – and then you’ll assume, incorrectly, that it didn’t work.
That’s when most people quit. Today we're talking a better strategy. & going all in cause that kind of grit is rare and that’s precisely what makes it a secret weapon.
So you're going thru the motions but truth be told it takes more than that babe. A LOT MORE.
it takes more than the little daily check list & tuning into meetings - that's the bare minimum these days.
its the background work mixed with a whole lot of perseverance, consistency and initiative
When you have big goals get into the habit of pushing your boundaries. At the end of the day ask yourself what background work did I do today? here's some of ours!
follow us on instagram @kaycroley & @riannevangorden
This is gonna be a little wake up call for those of you who love the words "slow season" "not my month" "its quiet"
Babe, you have to make people SEE YOUUUUUUUU - and most times that's on you. Maybe your just being too quiet?
None of you aren’t good enough. I love y’all enough o let you know YOUR JUST NOT TALKING TO ENOUGH PEOPLE - we're talking how to stand out, be louder than the 1000 of girls next to you and how to get their attention!
Instead of our first instinct being to make up an excuse, what if we started asking ourselves, "So what’re you gonna do about it?"
We both have a rock bottom that you wouldn't believe looking at us now.
- from living in a trailer, debt coming out of her eyeballs, miserable jobs, partying, inconsistency, victim mentality, social live over priorities, quitting the second something got hard.....
You’re constantly going to go through different seasons in your life.
Some I’ve been on a high, some I’ve been attacked for months, some I’ve been suffering from panic attacks, so I’ve been pregnant, some my marriage has been struggling, some I’ve been on top of the world… Regardless I’m still here and today we touch on what's helped us both!
Just a reminder - we see your love, shares and ratings of this podcast! Keep them coming babes, you make our entire day with every single one.
@kaycroley @riannevangorden
You guys know the old, spammy network marketing strategy of cold messaging, host a post, parties & graphics.
What we’ve heard time and time again is something along the lines of, I joined you because you weren’t like or teaching your team to do that.
But what we found out is that everyone that used to use the old spammy tactics has moved onto what we think is the “new” way of doing things.
Creating curiosity.. “work from wifi”.. make money while you sleep.. making it look easy and like everyone can do it.
But the fact of the matter is, that’s the new spammy. We all know finding success in this industry is anything but easy.
Here’s our new idea on how to stand out..
It’s far too normal to quit things now a days. Like it’s rare that someone doesn’t give up and actually does well at something or does what they say they’re gonna do. That’s where justifying inconsistency comes into play.
But — Inconsistency is rooted in self-discipline, and self-discipline is rooted in belief in oneself.
If you don’t believe in yourself, you won’t work on your self discipline because you’ll convince yourself “you suck at _____”. Which will make you inconsistent.
It’s time to own your own shiz.
If you hate something, you’re choosing it.. your flaws, your friend group, your health, your job.. you get to do it or you get to do something about it !!!!!!!
No one will take you serious if you don’t take yourself serious
This is on YOU.
We know we know - who's winning at that whole work/life balance thing anyways? there is no way each day is going to be perfect but here are a dozen tips to go to bed feeling like you totally slayed.
-
Knowing what you’re gonna post
-
Saving talking stories to make into IGTV
-
Not giving yourself unrealistic to do lists
-
App limits settings 3hrs
-
Lens buddy
-
If you have an idea, do it in the moment
-
Cross purposing video content
-
Batching your content
-
Having a schedule/calendar
-
Links
-
Creating for highlights
-
WordBoard app
tell us what you think 🧡 we love to read your reviews.
Do you know that silly saying, she turned her cants into cans and her dreams into plans? That’s what you need to do here. There are PLENTY of valid reasons to put your business on the back burner, but you started this because because you wanted something. Happiness, a passion, to be healthy, to make more money… whatever it is.
So telling yourself..
"I’m pregnant so it makes it hard to promote", "I work full-time so I don’t have time to work my business" "I was already with another company or two/ people are going to think I’m a company hopper", "I’m dealing with some mental battles/ going through a really hard season of life"
And using one of those reasons as an excuse, is only going to make you regret it when you see someone pushing through the same exact struggle you’re going through and still continuing to work their business.
The difference between you and her is that she wanted it more.
So how much do you want this?
You can always find the silver lining.
Work on seeing life through an optimistic lens, instead of a negative one.

Uh oh, one of those “𝒃𝒖𝒛𝒛𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔“ we always hear in this industry. 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆- friends, do not let this word cause an identity crises. It simply is knowing what your all about. Your style. What your want you page to the go to for?
Niche-ing is not something to avoid – rather than being constricting, it is actually very freeing.
Influencers speak to everyone. We speak to someone. Someone we used to be.
You might be wondering -
Why don’t we know what to post about?!
Why are we loosing followers?
Why aren’t we growing?
Why is my engagement down?
Why arent people voting on my polls?
Why when we do post and when we do get vulnerable it flips?!
It’s because you haven’t found your niche!
ITS THE TOPIC SENTENCE OF YOUR ENTIRE PAPER BABE.
Today’s episode is tough love. It’s a wake up call. It’s us telling you the details of what it actually took to get to where we are.
It wasn’t the lunch dates, getting our nails done and taking content pics together.
It was saying no to hanging because we had to work, putting in HOURS everyday, making this business our main focus and over all - making some serious sacrifices and trade offs.
Y’all have either done this or seen this, we all have. The “must be nice” tactic is basically making people think that you have a ton of free time that this biz gives you, when we all know that if you actually want to go far with it, you don’t have as much free time as some might portray.
This will have people joining you that think this is cake walk & aren’t willing to do the hard work it takes.
This could have people not want to join you because they’re jealous and think “must be nice”.
Or your team could envy you because they think you have it easy and they’re doing all the hard work.
Maybe it’s time to stop saying yes to all the weekend trips that make your story look cool, so you can sit at your computer and actually get some work done.
This episode is packed with so much you NEED to hear. Our team loved it, we hope you do too.
This is for the leaders of fairly large teams.
Sometimes it’s easy to assume re-ranking will be easy. That all the volume from last month will repopulate this month. That growth is inevitable because so & so is going for this goal..
But guess what..
In today’s episode we give you a wake up call that everyone needs and everyone needs to have at the forefront of their mind at all times.
The only person you can bet on in this business is yourself.
Not your bestie.
Not that person you’re so excited about.
Not even family.
They could quit at any time, sales could go down, life could happen, your “runner” could take a step back and where does that leave you?
You could be prepared and unphased because you planned for this. You stayed ahead of the fall off and remained your own best team mate.
Or...
It could leave you desperate, scrambling, behind and worried.
You choose.
Let's talk about dreaming versus doing for a second. ⚡️
Knowledge is not power - it is potential power.
Execution trumps knowledge any day of the week.
Dreaming may get most of the glory because it's fun and pretty, but the doing is the true magic of the equation.
Doing is what pulls the future into the now and turns the dream into reality.
It's also the part most people never get around to. So lets talk about the basic things it really takes to be not only a wild dreamer, but the girl who shows up for herself and gets it done always.

Its no secret friend, just some simple truth that makes too much sense.
Being relentless towards ANYTHING you want in this life, truly relentless in the pursuit is the sure way to win & make it happen.
In order to truly have what you want in your life, you must stop waiting to be told what to do and exactly how to do it. You have to stop looking left and right and comparing yourself and looking to the next girl for inspiration on how to do YOU.
These are your goals, your decisions, you business and its all based on your commitment and relentless perseverance. You cant IPA your way to the top, it takes more than that friends.
Relentless is about never being satisfied, always driving to be the best, and then getting even better. It’s about finding the gear that gets you to the next level. Even when the next level doesn’t exist yet. Think bigger. There’s a level even higher, completely attainable but so special that most people don’t even dare to dream of it. & I just want to remind you that its possible for every one of you.
Lets talk "𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝗼𝐮𝐭" shall we? Or better yet, what is it and how do I stay far away from that noise?! There is a simple equation to get a good idea of where your at when it comes to burn out. 𝐉𝗼𝐲 - 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 = 𝐜𝗼𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝗼𝐟 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠. This is the fuel that runs your entire life, the energy you bring into your days & without joy you’ll feel like your life lacks meaning, depressed, hopeless, all the bad things. Joy is like a flame that you carry within you but just like a flame you have to keep it going or else it will go out.
We all have to deal with things in life but it’s when drain starts to outweigh the joy that it effects your well being and that burn out kicks in. ☞︎ Let us know what you think by 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝗼𝗺𝐞 𝐥𝗼𝐯𝐞 on your favorite episode so far! & if this one hits home be sure to 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄 to your stories so we can see who’s listening ❤︎ love you tft fam @riannevangorden @kaycroley
We're baaaaaaaaaack - you'll never even believe the life that has happened in the last short and sweet couple of months. Not going to lie, it feels pretty dang good to be sitting here together talk with y'all again.
Today, were talking all about "mom life". Raising babies & building businesses and just how "balance" can feel like a sick joke at times.
Mindset magic + being a best case scenario type of girl — on the last episode of Season 3 we wanted to bring y’all an episode that would get you thinking. Something that would make you do some self assessment. Are you still full of excuses? Do you struggle with a victim mentality? Are you a negative Nancy? Or do you think of optimism as a magnet? Are you somebody that has an idea and puts it into action? Do you look at things in your life as learning opportunities? Making the mindset switch from “bad things always happen to me” to “everything in life is a blessing or a lesson” is crucial to your happiness. Today, we teach you how to be happy, simple as that.. and it all starts with what goes on in your mind.
Six figure work week — so often we hear from our team something along the lines of, “what am I missing?” or “what could I be doing more of?”. In today’s episode, we walk you through all the things we do in a work week as leaders of teams that do anywhere from 300k in sales a month to 700k in sales a month. Want to know what it takes to get to the top and how to spend your time intentionally working your business? Grab a notebook and write these things down. We cover it all 🤞🏼
On today’s episode we interview one of our girls, Alison Hawkins. We absolutely love her story because it’s so relatable; it’s where so many people start & hope to get to. She started this business at 20 years old with no experience, as a nursing student who was also working at a cafe and just wanted to make ends meet. She almost quit just days after signing up thanks to our good pal Self Sabotage, but Ri convinced her to stick it out. Now, she’s switched majors, found her passion, quit her job, works from her phone full time and just earned herself a massive five figure bonus all within a year. Ali’s your classic small town girl with big dreams, we hope you’ll see alittle bit of yourself in her. ♡
Lets be friends on the gram (that is if for some reason we aren't already)

Oh boyyyy, kinda an easy topic to touch on because I've been on both sides. Today we bring on our sweet friend Delanie who came in after being stuck and spinning her wheels for a year straight with BB, and in little to no time at all - were talking weeks. Changed her life without doing much differently other than changing the opportunity she was running with.
Whether you're seasoned in this industry or brand new, this is something that can absolutely benefit you. While were always taught not to look left and right there is different when comparing the opportunity you have to another - its smart business. You should know what you have your hands on and you should absolutely be confident that you are in the right place & you can hit the next level.
Today kaleigh & I sit down to interview a girl with a hell of a story & a hell of a transformation. Katie Martin has went through it all. She’s battled anorexia & depression, didn’t have it great (to say the least) growing up, she became a mom and a military wife at a young age and she went through a very hard pregnancy that left her in a body she didn’t recognize. You’d never know these things by looking at her now. The mental and physical changes katie has gone through over the last year will have you wondering how in the world she did it. Luckily, she’s here to tell you today.
We hope that this episode leaves you with hope. Hope that, no matter what you are going through, you can and will make a comeback. Hope that what might seem impossible now, most definitely won’t be forever. Hope that you can change your reality and do a complete 180 - if you put in the work to. Hope that, even on your darkest days, you know with confidence that you are strong enough to make it out the other side. Hope that, if she did, you can too.

Attraction marketing tips. Lets chat some basics to build on. That make ALL the difference! Every influencer wants to have that pretty feed, but how? How do you get there? How do you make that first impression that ends in a “follow”? Whats going to give someone a reason to follow you? How do they make their content so pretty? What apps are GOLDEN? How do I stand out from the crowd?
Today we are talking into three key things as far as instagram aesthetics go; 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔, 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒓, 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝗺𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝗼𝐧𝐬 - profile pic, bio, your handle, high lights, hacks to get a better return of your effort and make it count in the ways that’s going to continue to organically grow your network in the right ways. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐲𝗼𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝗼𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭- most importantly make sure you have a preset that you’re obsessed with. A preset that does your photos some serious justice! When you post start running a mental filter thru what you post, are you posting eye catching/ quality content? We share about why we love the Preview app to help design our insta and batch our next couple rows of content ahead of time. We’re talking about the magic balance in your feed. We also touch on another of our favorite apps called Tezza!! 𝐒𝐭𝗼𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝗺𝐞𝐧𝐭 - walk people thru your day to day, STORIES ARE HUGEEEEEEEEE and most successful influencers are active every day in their stories. Video content is trending right now (Facebook lives, IGTVS, REELS, Stories), the relatability and the chance to talk to your followers is in your stories. Put time into the content on your stories to make them stand out, I promise you it takes the same amount of time and pays off wayyyyyyyyy more.
Share this to your stories, drop the link to this episode if you think your team chat for your teams! We'd love to hear your feedback as always so if you haven't yet left a review, take a second so we can hear from you ❤︎ @kaycroley @riannevangorden
Talk about absolute madness - but we hide it well and honestly most wouldn't even know but boy are you in for a surprise cause were about to shed some light on just how much has actually been going on.
a little recap - Ri is not only 7 months pregnant and expecting Hank to be here in only 10 short weeks but Marc just transitioned into a new job (yup, no longer a farmers wife haha), they JUST closed on their first house, she has yet to even begin on the nursery, our boise retreat is days away and the reservation for the house we rented fell thru, company is coming into town all this month and she is still unpacking boxes, her cat is in HEAT and its actually a situation haha
Kay is in the middle of selling her home here in Oregon and moving somewhere south, literally not even decided on which state as of yet but they are searching and got the green light to buy! Out of state retreats fast approaching, surgeries for both her and her husband, she just bought an exotic cat that is keeping life interesting, and to make things extra crazy OUR TEAMS ARE ON FIRE.
the point of this episode is to shed some light on the fact that our lives are insane, but you'd also never know from the outside looking in because we prioritize our biz and still show up even when we could easily make 1091381 excuses not too. Sure we will walk out of this season with some war paint, maybe use a little too much dry shampoo, and cried some stress tears but there's just about nothing we can't do so why not do it all at once.
Love you friends!

Today we let y’all in on a live training we did for our team on closing sales. We walk you through how to get people in your DM’s & how to close the sale once they are there. TONS of details, the answers to all your questions when it comes to all scenarios, the why behind people leaving you on read or giving excuses and sooo much more. Grab a notebook, send this to your teams and implement what we teach in this episode ASAP.

We did not wake up with the success that we have today sitting in our lap. We weren’t born into families built on success stories. We didn’t grow up with money. We didn’t have entrepreneurs to look up to. We grew up knowing struggle, being broke and making a lot of terrible choices. Partying, crashed cars, 16 and pregnant, countless jobs, arranged marriages, barely graduating, welfare, and living in less than ideal situations.. somehow, we turned our lives around in ways we never thought possible. We went from feeling completely defeated to completely capable. Here’s how.

We had an epiphany recently. As a team, we practice attraction marketing which is how we run our businesses. Since we don’t send our cold messages or anything like that, our businesses are ran by putting our quality content that gets people’s attention, creates curiosity and they come to us. We work so hard to make our posts quality, we hop on a weekly zoom to batch all of our posts for the week and we cover all the bases. The biz, the products, our why, you name it. What we were forgetting to cover was, US. Who we are, what our day looks like, what we like to do.. we forgot to share the most important part. People buy YOU, before they buy the products or opportunity you’re selling. This is the content tweak you need to implement, trust me.

Why it’s always worth it — live training
Tonight we share a live training that we did for our team on why it’s always worth it & three things that will change your life forever: Choice, commitment, consistency.
If you quit...
You will only regret it.
You’ll ignore the people that kept going and kept pushing forward.
You’ll resent those that become successful at what you quit at.
You’ll continue the narrative about yourself that says you’re a failure, you can’t stick with something and you aren’t good at anything.
If you keep going...
You will only be proud of yourself.
You’ll constantly be moving forward instead of moving back.
You won’t be comparing yourself to others, you’ll compare yourself to who you were yesterday.
You will see progress day in and day out and know that you are CAPABLE.
YOU are not a quitter, but you are choosing to be one & today we remind you how important it is to change that.
Some thing that holds people back the most in this industry is being un coachable. Unwilling to take feedback, critique and advice, thinking you’re too good for self development, provided training, meetings, etc. This industry is about helping people and if you are too full of yourself, that will absolutely hold you back from any progress.
You might listen to this today & think that’s not me… But ask yourself this... The last time your upline reach out to you, did you brush it off as if you already knew everything they told you? Did you take forever to respond and say something like I know “I need to do better” or “I know that’s an excuse…” If you’re saying those things... you might just be uncoachable and you might have a pride problem.
@kaycroley @riannevangorden @teafortwo__
today we talk all things on building your brand and WHY branding yourself/ finding your “niche” is CRUTIAL. Friends creating your brand allows for you to work smarter not harder and makes the whole “visual aesthetics” piece comes into play more easily when you figure out what you’re all about. Soooooooo......... Let’s get to the bottom of this already. What is your story? Who are you? What have you been thru? What do you love? What are you passionate about? What do you have to offer? What value can you bring to your corner of IG?
NOW let’s learn how to build a community around THAT! (Content strategy, figure out value you can add, groups you can follow/ join, hashtags) Hope you enjoy friends, be sure to leave us a review if you haven’t already, we absolutely adore you and love to hear from youuu each week. @riannevangorden @kaycroley @teafortwo__
Hear us when we say, it is normal to have highs and lows in your business, but what is not okay is to stay complacent. Today we touch on “the wave”. Think of your business as a wave in the ocean. You’ll go up and you’ll go down. It’s NORMAL. We explain why it happens, what to do when it’s happens and how to deal with it. From mindset training to what not to do, we cover it all in today’s episode. “Ruts”, “slow seasons”, “slumps”.. you name it, we talk you through it. Share this with your teams because I’m sure most of them are feeling this right now.

Oooooh another episode with some guests! We are loving bringing on people this month to interview so y’all can get a different perspective and hear from someone other than us for a quick 20 minutes of your day! Catie & Diane are two gals that are seasoned in this industry and combined, have dipped their toes in the water of multiple companies. Now, with Le-Vel, they are home. Today, they explain why. We talk all about MLM red flags, things that you shouldn’t have to deal with as a promoter for a company and why they left certain companies. We’re talking fees, charts, autoships, culture, community, training and so much more. We told y’all that Tea for Two was going to be unapologetic and this episode surely is. You want the truth about if the grass truly is greener elsewhere? Listen up, y’all — today you’re about to find out.

This one is super special to us because the gal we interview on this episode is the entire reason why we are here today. she was once fired from corporate America and on food stamps wondering how she was going to keep her home… And is now running a team of people that do $1 million a month (that we are apart of) in sales and creating a world where money has become obsolete. She hit the top of the company TWICE in six months and hasn’t slow down cents. Today we cover everything from being at rock-bottom, to imposter syndrome, creating a culture and duplication. Y’all are going to love this one – you can follow Kourtney on Instagram @soberkourt and us as usual at @kaycroley and @riannevangorden
As promised here is my tutorial explaining INSTA REELS
https://youtu.be/YnUpvIacxZo
We work on social media folks, we gotta keep up with what’s cool on social media.
Stories / IGTV / REELS/ Lives/ Highlights / Funnels that connect your audience to you
We all know the algorithm is a pain in the butt, but just keep in mind that anytime Instagram or Facebook comes out with something new, they WANT you to use it. REELS will help with getting better engagement, to grow your following and give you FREE EXPOSURE because they are pushing reels HARD.
Let’s just preface and say that if you don’t have the basics mastered (posting, IPAs, knowing your product/ biz plan, convos) then you need to focus there first.
Ex. Effects on insta stories, igtv, swipe ups, lives on fb and now reels. The easiest way to figure out how to utilize these is simply by googling it.
Don’t waste your time waiting for your upline to teach the team and figure it out for themselves. How do you think they figured it out? Google. Trial and error. Do something easy that you’re comfortable with first. Get some content up. Then push yourself to stand out.
If you’re not unique you’re not selling. Maybe everyone is doing the same style reel, switch it up. You’re still keeping up with the trend but being your own person.
@kaycroley
@riannevangorden
@teafortwo__
Today, we give y’all the kick in the butt you just might need. Things like committing to your goals, knowing you will run into obstacles and things won’t always go smoothly, not being a victim to your circumstances & also not being a victim to others opinions. As important as it is to get past your own BS, it’s just as important to get past others. Quit feeling sorry for yourself & use your problems/ struggles as leverage & as something to actively work through and teach people how to get over. The low times could make a weak person quit & give up. The mindset tweak you need is to decide you will never give up, no matter the circumstance.

I am so pumped for my #TFTFam to get to hear from my husband, FINALLY! Marc is not a man of many words, so getting him to agree to this may or may not have taken a week of begging, but here we are y’all. These spouse interviews are being made in hopes of y’all helping your other half get some perspective, understand and hear from someone like him. Today we are dropping TWO episodes, this is part one. Kaleigh & Charlie will be part two! Marc answers lots of questions that he did not have time to prep for or know before we started recording, so you are getting the unfiltered truth and thoughts about how network marketing has impacted him. How he felt when I told him I was starting, what annoys him about it the most, the stuff he resented, and how he feels about it all now. We have learned a lot through this journey, we’ve messed up, I have prioritized the wrong things, he has been close minded, and we talk about it all from the comfort of our home. Enjoy xx @riannevangorden
Spouse interviews?! SAY WHAT?? Never in a million years did either of our husbands think they would see the day where they were asked to speak on a podcast listened to by thousands but here we are folks. Honestly IM STOKED, so happy we had the fellas on to chat and shed some light on how this whole entrepreneur thing is like from a husbands perspective.
My husbands life has changed just as much as mine has, once a full time federal employee to now a full time stay at home dad and I'm sure he could say a thing or two about just how much network marketing has impacted him.
We're talking - How he felt when I told him I was starting, what his hesitations were, what annoys him about it the most, the stuff he resented, what his role is in all this, his thoughts on what its all done for our lives and how he feels about it all now!
Thanks for listening friends.

The saying is true “teamwork makes the dreamwork”, today we are touching in on something we truly believe MAKES or breaks your business. This plays a huge part in retention, your impact, the pace of growth, and momentum. It also is key to creating a community. Over here we highly prefer an open conversation about struggles over ghosting and quitting. This industry leaves you alone to do a lot of things. It’s up to you to create a sense of community and friendship that lets them know you are in this together. Brittany Raquel congrats on being the teafortwo review winner!

The price of ambition is a small price to pay when we're talking about your dreams.
It takes being scared. It takes following your gut. It takes hard work to override the naysayers, the opinions and the petty betty’s. It takes losing friends, discipline, work ethic.. It takes a lot of things that most people won’t understand. Sadly, a lot of people aren’t willing to do what it takes. Were about to get really honest & hopefully this brings a sigh of relief to some of our soul sisters out there that deal with this. Being ambitious is a blessing and curse. It’s a bittersweet trait to have, but it is also the one trait that leads people to create a future they dream of. If you are willing to deal with the ugly parts of ambition, you are absolutely worthy of soaking in all that is beautiful about it. In this episode, we talk about the fun & the not so fun parts of being ambitious. There is a price to pay, but the pay off is unmatched. How committed are you to your goals?
& Congrats Sarah Gabbard for being chosen as the TFT review of the week winner! Please DM either of us on Instagram to be given your gift of #TeaOnUs. Thank you for being apart of the #TFTFam

The truth? It requires grit out the gate, day one, right from the start - Yup, here we are friends. We’re talking all about GRIT and the drive it takes in the start up phase in all things. Are you starting a business? A blog? HI, a podcast?
We’re having you sit in on a LIVE training with our team today and we’re talking about it all and why giving 110% out the gate is key to a business that will take off faster than those who wait.
Whatever it may be that you’re just starting… it’s going to take grit. It’s going to take drive. It’s going to take sacrifice… so let’s chat about it.

If you aren't where you want to be, why you chillin so much?
In the last episode of season 15, we cover way more topics than we planned on. First things first, and what we really want y’all to have got out of this season is — if you aren’t where you want to be, why you chillin so much? Quit saying “I’ll do that when ____”.
If we had done that, all of season one of Tea For Two wouldn’t have been a thing. We told ourselves we weren’t going to start the podcast until we were both at the top of the company, had we waited til then, we still wouldn’t be recording. So, stop putting things off! Let us be that friend that holds you accountable & pushes you to start doing the things you say you want to do. We cover friendship & some of the main reasons we think our friendship works as well as it does. We tell y’all what to expect from season two of Tea for Two — like #TFTfam, guests & weekly Tea For Two reviews. Most of all — Kay & Ri will be back on August 25th!!!

Its easy to overthink the whole "posting" thing, but lets dial it back. Let's talk basic facts here - if your not unique, you’re not selling. You have to stand out in a way that's going to grab attention by creating a sense of relatability. This episode is so much more than telling you the typical - “you have to serve value” or “narrow down your niche”. It boils down to one thing STORY TELLING - we all have a story to share, whether you're on day one or you've been at this for a hot minute. You have a story that is continuing to be written, things to talk about, stuff that interests you, excites you, experiences you've faced, struggles you've overcome, its all part of it. In this episode we talk strategies that work for us and easy hacks to taking your posts beyond surface level. Take a listen, run with this advice and step your content game up today! Follow us on Instagram @kaycroley @riannevangorden @teafortwo__
In today episode - we want you to realize two things. That you are in 𝐜𝗼𝐧𝐭𝐫𝗼𝐥 and that you only get 𝐎𝐍𝐄 shot at life. Don’t waste anymore time. Quit thinking you have tons of time left. For us, our lives are 1/4 over and that’s IF we live to 100. Quit convincing yourself one day will happen, when you don’t even know if tomorrow will happen. You can’t get back yesterday, so figure out what you want and work at it right now. Don’t get to the end of your life with a list of “𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉”‘s. Get to the end with a list of ”I 𝒅𝒊𝒅 that”’s.
We hope this episode wakes you up to the reality that time is fleeting. Do something today that will get your closer to something you’ve always wanted. We’ve got two episodes left in season one of Tea For Two. So! If this episode hit home for you, share of with one of your friends that you think needs to hear it, too. Thank you for letting us pour into you. Hope you got something out of Ep. 13. ♡︎ Regardless, we just want to help you live the life you dream of.
Today we walk you through our morning routines. How we structure our days and we go over a couple tips on work life balance and how we mange this gig. We didn’t always work from home full-time, and we didn’t always have the routines that we do now! This took trial and error and lots of hiccups along the way to figure out what our non-negotiables are every day, how to keep track of everything that needs to get done and what time of the day we work best. If you’re curious about what a day in the life is like for Kaleigh and I, here it is. Our lives at every different, but also a lot alike. We hope you can implement some of these tips into your day to day!
Quick reminder: we are doing seasons of 15 episodes! There will be three episodes left in the season and then we will be taking a two month break to grow our minds and be able to pour our heart and soul into season two and make it the best they possibly can be for our listeners!

Ep 11. is a sneak peak into just 1 of 14 training available each week to our team and we were sure to make it a good one.

We're as real with our team as we are on these episodes and sometimes it's meant to motivate, sometimes its tips and advice and other times it's a much needed reality check like today was.
The truth, this industry requires YOU to show up for YOU and we're here to hold you accountable always.

Ep 10. Bare with us as we talk our way thru how surreal this all truly is. Hitting the top of the company and trying to put it into words is something life doesn’t really prepare you for. Kaleigh and I hit the two top ranks of the company on the very same day and haven’t nearly wrapped our heads around it. Achieving a goal that you set out to do from the very moment you started is a feeling that is extremely hard to put into words. Our point in explaining all this is that maybe you’ll realize we’re just like you, and still don’t think we are anyone special. We are just two girls from a couple small towns in Oregon on a mission to show everyone who’s willing to listen, you can truly accomplish anything you put your mind too. We just went first and are here to show you exactly how we did it.
Episode 9 is going to be covering how to become a leader from day one and don't let that scare you. It's something everyone strives to be and become in this industry, but also something people over complicate. Today, we teach you about how we did it. How we acted the part from the start, the resources we put into place as training for our team and where your focus should be. Great leaders believe they work for their team, average leaders believe they work for themselves. The goal in this episode is to teach you all how to build a team so strong that you don’t know who’s in charge. Most of all — leadership is about support, not force. Hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Another touchy subject. Were starting to notice a trend here. Were getting good at talking about the things NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT. Today we get down to the nitty gritty of where we started. Where we went wrong. How we got to where we are today. And everything in between. The point of this episode is to help you get really real with yourself and acknowledge the facts. Is your growth in your business at a stand still because of YOU or because the COMPANY you’re with is no longer serving you? We each come from different sides of the fence. One of us took a go at network marketing and quit because it was a “YOU” problem. The other played “keep up with the fall off” for far too long because of a COMPANY problem. Today, we’re going to help you see which it is for you, if any. It’s about to get reallllly raw, really real and the tea will definitely be spilt. #AndThatsTheTea

Ooof. Today’s episode was honestly hard for us to chat about. Confidence and insecurities are two things that no one talks about but play a part in EVERYONES day to day. Over all — insecurity leads to resentment and envy of other people’s success. It can feel like you’ve been bit by the comparison bug or you might be exhausted from trying to “keep up”. Today, we remind you that not everyone (including you) has the same definition of success. Therefor, jealousy diminishes and admiration increases.
We talk about how to make that mental switch.
We help you asses what YOU really want. Y’all — you have your own skills and your own talents. Rock them. Stop chasing everyone else’s dream and chase your own. Hope this episode helps you do just that. ♡︎

An excuse is a lie that we tell ourselves so that it doesn’t have to be our fault. Right? Right!
Today, we hit you with some serious truth, like acknowledging the fact that excuses are for people who simply don’t want it bad enough. We are here to help talk you all through this because, guess what? We werent always able to push past our own BS.
We are able to make an episode on this topic because we have been through it. We have been the people that made excuses more than we made progress and now we are people that hear one and cringe. Today we go DEEP into what an excuse actually is, how to start hearing yourself and recognizing when you are in fact making an excuse, ways to stop yourself in the act and lastly — we help you realize that you will not be able to move past your own bad habits if you surround yourself with people that are supporting them.
